Chris Kyle’s widow spoke for all military spouses

My heart weighed very heavy Tuesday while watching the memorial service for Chris Kyle. I made it pretty well through the service until his beautiful widow, Taya, spoke.

As a retired Army officer’s wife, Taya’s poignant eulogy to her husband really hit me hard. This is always the fear that is a constant in the mind of the military wife. It gnaws at your soul day in and day out until your husband comes home.

My husband and I met Chris only last year. He really was larger than life. Chris was one of those special people who only come along once in a lifetime, if one is lucky.

God bless you, Chris, for your bravery in the defense of our country. Thank you for all you have done for America.

God bless you, Taya for standing tall by your husband; loving him, sharing him with us while being so supportive of his career. But most important, for providing him with a loving family for him to come home to enjoy.

From all U.S. military wives, we love you, we love you, we love you.

Marquita Sozio, Dallas
